Abstract

An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display includes a substrate, a thin film transistor disposed on the substrate, a first electrode disposed on the thin film transistor and electrically connected to the thin film transistor, a first auxiliary layer disposed on the first electrode, an emission layer disposed on the first auxiliary layer, an electron transport layer disposed on the emission layer, a first buffer layer disposed on the electron transport layer, and a second electrode disposed on the first buffer layer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display comprising:
a substrate;
a thin film transistor disposed on the substrate;
a first electrode disposed on the thin film transistor and electrically connected to the thin film transistor;
a second electrode facing the first electrode;
an emission layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode;
a first auxiliary layer disposed between the first electrode and the emission layer;
an electron transport layer disposed between the emission layer and the second electrode; and
a first buffer layer disposed between the electron transport layer and the second electrode,
wherein the emission layer comprises a red light emitting layer, a green light emitting layer, and a blue light emitting layer,
wherein the emission layer further comprises a second auxiliary layer disposed at a lower end of the blue light emitting layer, and
wherein each of the red light emitting layer and the green light emitting layer does not overlap with the second auxiliary layer in a thickness direction of the organic light emitting diode display.

2. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , further comprising:
a second buffer layer disposed between the electron transport layer and the first buffer layer.

3. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 2 ,
wherein the second buffer layer comprises at least one of CuPc, F16CuPc, MoO x , or WO 3 .

4. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 2 ,
wherein a thickness of the second buffer layer ranges from about 85 nm to about 95 nm.

5. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 2 , further comprising:
a third buffer layer disposed between the second buffer layer and the electron transport layer.

6. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 5 ,
wherein the third buffer layer comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of LiF, Yb, WO 3 , MoO x , Liq, and Mg.

7. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 5 ,
wherein a thickness of the third buffer layer ranges from about 1 nm to about 3 nm.

8. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 ,
wherein a thickness of the emission layer ranges from about 10 nm to about 50 nm.

9. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 ,
wherein the first auxiliary layer comprises a hole injection layer and a hole transport layer disposed on the hole injection layer, and
wherein a thickness of the hole injection layer ranges from about 25 nm to about 35 nm, and
wherein a thickness of the hole transport layer ranges from about 15 nm to about 25 nm.

10. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 ,
wherein a thickness of the first buffer layer ranges from about 1 nm to about 3 nm.

11. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 10 ,
wherein the first buffer layer comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of LiF, Yb, WO 3 , MoOx, Liq and Mg.

12. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 ,
wherein the blue light emitting layer and the second auxiliary layer are formed of a dual layer.

13. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 ,
wherein the second auxiliary layer comprises a compound represented by the following chemical formula:

wherein each of “A1,” “A2,” and “A3” is an alkyl group, an aryl group, carbazole, dibenzothiophene, dibenzofuran (DBF), or biphenyl, and each of “a,” “b,” and “c” is an integer ranging from 0 and 4.

14. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 ,
wherein the second auxiliary layer comprises a compound represented by the following chemical formula:

wherein each of “a,” “b,” and “c” is an integer ranging from 0 to 3, “X” is one selected from among “O,” “N,” and “S,” and the elements selected for X are the same as or different from each other.
